A loan helped to light his home.


Koffi Albert's story

Koffi Albert is a 49-year-old planter who lives in Côte d'Ivoire with his wife and four children.

Koffi Albert is applying for a loan to buy a solar kit consisting of 4 LED lights, a rechargeable battery with a solar panel and a television, so that he can light up his house and watch television with his wife and children every evening.

Having a solar kit with lights will also enable Koffi Albert to stay longer in his yard when the daylight disappears.
